that time when here to abraham on the plains of mamre before the great destruction and abraham knew why you were there to be worshiped and served and we trusted as children of abraham which by faith we believe we are we might also worship and serve you in spirit and in truth and therefore be very accommodating unto you we know lord that there are many things we want and we don't get them but You have your way in all things and we want to realize that this morning and therefore be all the more accommodating to you, Lord, in your desires and your wills and come even to the place where Brother Branham said, I always do what I want, which is I want to please him. We know that that's a great testimony, that that is something that, how would a man even dare to say that except that he knew that he was in that harmony with you, Lord, of the last day even as... has been declared unto us we're one with you and one with each other one with that word lord and so may we find something this morning in your word lord as we try to worship you in spirit and in truth and come into that close union with you that we're walking in the light as you're in the light we're having fellowship one with another blood of jesus christ god's son cleansing us from all unrighteousness just going more and more unto the perfect day which Perfect day, Lord, we know we're in, and we're just at the very end of it, coming to that more perfect day, which leads us to an even more perfect day until the Father becomes all in and all in the new Jerusalem. We know that's with us this hour. We pray we may see it, O God, and it may not only see it, but it may be part of our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. You may be seated. Now, last Friday we were talking about the... fact of the responsible God, which I again want to caution you, I am not trying to make a doctrine out of that, but we do know that God is absolutely responsible, and he did take upon himself the actual responsibility for the completion of his own ultimate program, of which we are a part, if not the ultimate of his satisfaction. to see his children brought into that perfect relationship which is now being entered into by people living who shall not perish but walk right into immortality and continue to the great city of God, the new Jerusalem, the new heavens and earth. Fully responsible because as creator he would have to be responsible. And he most certainly was even to the extent of taking upon himself the shedding of his own blood, his own life, taking the penalty upon us, becoming sin offering for us, he who knew no sin, thereby actually becoming as it were also in type to scapegoat. Now this morning we want to continue by going into an Easter message of life because this is the hour of life. Now, every Sunday, of course, we come together and we worship the Lord because, as Brother Branham said, we commemorate the Lord's resurrection. But today it's a little more special because this is the day that we commemorate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ when he arose from the dead and led captivity captive. He brought out those righteous ones that were His brothers and sisters brought them forth from the grave, brought them into Jerusalem, where they all walked the streets together, where Jesus was seen above 500 people, many at one time, over 40 days. And the saints that came out of the earth, like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Joseph, and those great ones, Job. no doubt also walked the city, and were seen of many, and it was a great testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. So we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord this morning, and we look at the word resurrection, and it actually means, there are about three meanings, which we don't have to look at all three of them, but the word resurrection coming from the Bible, stand up again. In other words, that which went down was either knocked down, thrown down, fell down, rises again. And then of course the meaning gets a little more sure and true. It means to be raised from the dead. It also means to make a recovery. And of course you know that we use that word resurrection in an offhand manner to mean recovery. But we don't really mean it in the literal sense of something which has died and possibly actually decayed. And as Brother Branham said, can even go back to gases or go to gases because that's true. The deterioration of bodies causes gases. Until actually there's nothing left but a bit of ash, if you can find that. And out there in the atmosphere, there are those gases that passed away. So we're looking at a resurrection. Mother Branham clearly stated what resurrection is, and this, of course, comes from a vindicated prophet. He mentions that a resurrection means whatever went down into the grave comes up again from the grave. And I remember he took his handkerchief and he dropped it, and he said, now I dropped his handkerchief, and if something else comes up instead of the handkerchief, that is not resurrection. Now that's what you're looking at. And you are to understand that as basic. And you are to apply it to yourself as an individual. Normally we look at resurrection as across the board. And we count ourselves by grace as a part of an event. Now you cannot do that in the light of this message by a vindicated prophet. You must look at yourself. And you must look at those who have gone before. And you say they went down, they are coming up. And when I go down, I am coming up. I am coming back. You know how people get mad at each other? They say, I'm going to come back and haunt you.
You know what? It becomes very personal. Ho, ho, I am going to get my digs in at you.
How come when it comes to the spiritual truth of the Word of God, we don't say with such conviction, I am coming back? See? Oh, yes. The devil is tricky, and I think maybe we kind of fall for his tricks, like Eve did instead of the pure Word of God. So, it is not an exchange. It is that which went down is coming back. So according to a vindicated prophet, resurrection means a return of the same body, same person. A perfect picture of exactly what the resurrection is is when a group of people found Lazarus dead after suffering in some type of sickness. They put him in the grave and after four days they knew his body was rotting and stinking and Jesus came by. And he said, I'm going to raise him from the dead, so roll the stone back. And they said, well, hey, there's no use. As Brother Branagh said, no doubt the nose had begun to fall in the body, turning to liquids and smelling to a high heaven. And they said, no, it's so stink, don't roll the stone back. He said, roll it back. And you know, this man came forth. from the grave and he said, now loose the grave clothes and they loosed the grave clothes and this man looked exactly like he looked a few days before he got sick. Now you notice I didn't say that he came up looking like a young man because he didn't. He never came up appearing like a 19 or 18 year old man because he didn't. He came up looking exactly like he was. And I think maybe this is one reason why the Jews tried to kill him. Now, if he'd have come back looking like a very young man, this would have been such a phenomenon that it would have turned all of Israel upside down and inside out in the Roman Empire likewise. But he came back looking like old Lazarus was before he went down. And then, of course, right away, then they suspected some kind of trickery, some kind of Houdini act, as Brother Branham said. And this would look very, very bad. So they wanted to get rid of him. Now, when Jesus came back, He was changed to a young man. That's why they didn't recognize him. I used to wonder why Brother Branham quoted Josephus. Josephus said that using the scripture of John, that they said to him when he said, before Abraham was I, and they said, hold it, but you're not even 55 years old. And Josephus said, according to the understanding that he had, that jesus looked like an old man before his time and brother branham came around and corroborated and i thought now brother brandon you're a vindicated prophet but i don't think it's hey why would you read josephus and put that in there you see how stupid you are i am not you but you see he did look old and when he went to that grave at age 33 he was looking 55 and maybe hanging on the cross 65 or 75.
And when he came back looking like an 18 -year -old, certainly they didn't know who he was. And the only way they could tell who he was, by what he did.
Now that Jesus has risen amongst us, the only way you can tell who that is is by what he does. There is no other way. All right. Now, that's why they couldn't recognize Jesus, because he never came back like Lazarus. Because Lazarus, though in a genuine resurrection, Because that's what it was, because the body was, you know, messing up already. It wasn't comatose and lying there on a cake of ice or something. It was rotting. It qualifies, but it's not a perfect resurrection. See? And now Jesus himself actually does not qualify as the epitome of a resurrection where the body is deteriorated. because the scripture said concerning him to make it all the more real his body would not deteriorate in fact it reversed went back to 19 18 years old from 33 and a half looking 65 who knows how old he looked now while talking about how old one looks when he is resurrected bring us the question what about those that die that do not die they're stating for the rapture and they're changed from mortal to immortal from corruptible to incorruptible, and literally are resurrected as the old or outer man that was perishing gets renewed. Now you see, that's where resurrection can be recovery. Right? Because that's what it means. A recovery. How would you like to recover your lost years and utilize the experience that you gathered knowing that you really could honest, before God, you would utilize that experience and you'd walk the straight and narrow. You'd say, I'd like that. Well, I'm going to tell you something. You bypassed the word form that would have allowed you to walk perfect. And now you're going to go and get it eventually. Isn't that nice? Recovery. So recovery is part of resurrection. See, okay. Now then. We're looking at this, the outer man is perishing and the inner man is being renewed to put then with the complete inner man back to where he was, which is going back to a seed state. Now listen, going back to a seed state, if it is recovering, goes back to the genuine seed of God, which must bring forth a body commenderate.
Well, you're going to live and never die again.
You see the science of what I'm telling you?
Absolutely scientific. Now, if you don't believe that, if you could take that rose there, and let's say that rose was on the bush that it grew from, and that rose turned around and died. In other words, it faded. And you said, turn around and go back where you came from.
What would it go back to? the original life that brought it forth in the first place, but subject to problems which would put it where it is now in its death. But we're not going to have that. You understand what I'm saying? Now the Old Testament pointedly shows us what we are going to look like in the resurrection. Naaman, who had cancer, well, leprosy, which was the disease of that hour that signified the separation of death where men were rotting. Let's get it now. The body is rotting.
When does your body rot? When you die.
This man's flesh came again as a child.
What do you think of AIDS?
You're walking rotting. Will there then be a resurrection in our hour? Amen.
AIDS is a sign of a resurrection. Negative, perhaps. But a sign. What about Abraham and Sarah?
He's about 100 and she's 90. Together that's 190.
They turned back to 16 -year -olds.
The king that looked at her fell in love with a 90 -year -old gal because
she looked sweet 16.
What happened? Recovery. Reversal. What about Job?
Clean as a whistle. Went back to a young man, married again, had a family. All right. In this our day, we are about to see 1 Corinthians 15, 51 to 53, which is, I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but he shall all be changed. In the moment between tonight, the last trump and so on. We go to 1 Corinthians 4, 13. It says, we which are alive and remain are going to get our change and be caught away. So we see them all being completely fulfilled in this our day. Now, just looking at some scripture. We go to Matthew. I'm going to read these, and then we'll talk about them. Matthew 10, 28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 6, 25, Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment? And again in 2 Corinthians 5, 1 -6, That this earthly body... vanish away it dies it's corrupted and goes away we have a body eternal waiting in the heavens for us so that we do not become unclothed we simply go to another clothing you understand what we're saying and again in john 5 rather first corinthians uh 15 12 to 20 you'll find the apostle paul telling you there in no uncertain terms if christ be preached from the dead how can anybody raised from the dead how can anybody say that that we're not coming back but he said now listen if there's no resurrection he said then christ did not come back and if christ did not come back he said we're our preaching is vain paul
had a ministry of preaching which said resurrection now a while back he said i came with you in fear and trembling had only one message that was the power of that was christ in him crucified but now he's gone on he said my message has gone from the crucifixion and the death because you you this just on in the past now and we're hitting the resurrection and william brannan said my ministry is to declare that he is here and people cannot pinpoint point pinpoint the understanding of the revelation you go to most randomites and you say hey what is what what what what is this voice what is this show what is the message is the oldest is understand yeah the message is he is here and in him are all these things we talked about and he said yes we're found to be fought witness of God and so on if the dead rage not Christ is not risen and if the Christ be not raised your faith is vain you're in your sins they are those that are fallen asleep repair a parish if in this life only we have hope in Christ he said it is a mess it is a hundred percent miserable for all of us and then in John 5 You know what John 5 is. That's the chapter of Jesus speaking concerning the resurrection, talking about the dead coming up. In 28 and 29, he says here, marvel not at this, the hour is coming in which the altar and the graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth. They that have done good unto the resurrection life and they that have done even unto the resurrection damnation. It means that where if your body's gone into gases, somehow your body has ears to hear.
You're going to come back. The reason for all of these verses is to simply show that the body spoken of in each scripture would not have existed except for a living person, a life, whose life processes contained in a seed formed that body as a vehicle of expression for that life.
That's why I said don't fear the thing that can destroy your body. Don't worry about it. That's taken care of. He said, if you worry, you worry about the one that can destroy the body and the soul. So he's telling you, where is the life? It is in the soul. And it is that soul light, no matter where it came from, that makes the body.
You know, people don't even believe that in this message. There's a man I met years ago. I believe I met him. He preaches what we preach, gets the tapes all the time. and when he caught the understandings that then this is a theological truth there's nothing i discovered it's been preached for centuries that the soul makes the body and the people say oh no the soul can't make the body it's sort of out there flying around oh don't
mind me you just wonder why i get sarcastic you heard it the reason for all these verses is simply to show that the body spoken of in each scripture would not have existed except for a living reality a person entity whose life processes contained in a seed that God placed that in formed the body as a vehicle of expression of that life and I'm talking of expression and I mean expression if it contests something contains a myriad lights like a crystal when you throw a light on it I'm talking about that expression
Do you understand what I'm saying? What's that thing they put to your eye and they turn around? You know what it is. You know, you look in them. Huh? Yeah, well, that's one of the words. All right, you twist it, and a little light hits it, and you see a pattern, a little teeny twist, another pattern, and another, and another, and another, and another. I'm talking about that.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Not mad at you. All right, the life or the real person had to have and has to have presently. body to express itself to its potential and cannot be satisfied but actually goes into a state of despair disappointment dysfunction and even perhaps death yes death in the presence of every other value including god let me read it again the life of the reality had
to have and has to have there's a continuity a body to express itself to its potential and cannot be satisfied but actually goes into a state of despair disappointment and dysfunction even in the presence of every value if there's a greater value than what's intrinsically there included is god
Say, Brother Bill, that's a terrible statement. Let's just find out.
Paul said, if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. And he's talking about the resurrection even in the face of the fact, he said, in 2 Corinthians chapter 5. Let's read it now. Because here's where you get the impact. I didn't read it before. I just merely quoted some thoughts. Here's what he said. For we know that if this... If our earthly tabernacle of this house, if this earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God and a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan earnestly, desire to be clothed upon with our house is from heaven.
So while, hey, just get me that far and I can stop. You ain't fit for a resurrection. You ain't going to make it. Because you don't believe the Bible. Paul
said, I'm going to straight beat tricks to desires. I want to stay here and help you folks. I want to get away and be in the presence of Jesus.
He turns right around here in the doctrine and says, if in this life only we have hope in Christ and he's talking about a resurrection. Now get that flat. You following what I'm saying? Don't get your thinking out of context, brother, sister. When I'm talking about elephants, I am not going to describe a baboon.
When I tell you I am eating sauerkraut and spare ribs, I'm not going to be talking about potatoes and jam poured on my bread.
We're talking about a resurrection. We're talking about the man who said, I'm going to go to a spirit body.
And he said, if my hope does not get me returned from the dead, I am miserable. I'm dissatisfied. i'm in dysfunction i am not complete now i'm preaching way beyond my knowledge and you know why i got it and i'll tell you why because every single scripture that god ever gave he gave a manifestation that that was his word and after the man delivered the word he had to explain it and after the explanation they had to get it and we ain't yet got the resurrection but for what i get from a prophet this word of almighty god i know what i am taught and i'm going to fit in perfectly
I got more scripture, too. Don't you just think I haven't? Now, what is this life that demands and will not be satisfied except it gets its body resurrected? Well, it started way back in Genesis when God said, let's make man in our own image. After he's legislated them male and female, he made them, and it was one single person, the two within one.
And he called their name Adam.
Then in Genesis 2, he puts them into a body. Yep. Now let's get over here to Genesis 3 and see what happens after the fall.
All right, Genesis 3 after the fall. It said, Could he
live forever if he wasn't made to live forever? If what was in him could not produce eternal immortality, this is just... a goofy stupid statement did
you get what i said i
say uh roses stretch your wings and fly kind of a not are you listen i'm reading the bible god's word that said this man could stretch forth his hand in that condition and get a hold of that tree what he wanted there was that within him already on and on On. You know.
Adam knew what he missed.
I'm not off Scripture. Oh, no. I'm 100 % on Scripture.
Let's go to Psalms. You follow what I'm saying? Amen. You with me? You understand what I'm saying? If you don't, I can't preach it again because I'm going to be taking a lot of time as it is. Twelve pages and two pages. Well, I'm on four now. But don't worry. I slow down.
Psalm 17 is what I want. I do believe. And in verse, I hope I'm right here, 15. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied and
not be for no matter what in thy likeness.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it hath not appeared what we shall be, but we know them, and he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. And Paul said, I have been condemned for my hope in the resurrection. I follow them coming back. And they said, well, Paul, it's possible, because we believe in reincarnation also.
Talked to a good friend of mine, a doctor, and I said, Doc, I can't go with your reincarnation bid. He said, You mean you believe in one shot? I said, Yeah, one shot, Doc.
Well, maybe transmigration. Forget it. My uncle wasn't a monkey. Neither was my sister and aunt. A -A -N -T. It's an A -U -N -T. I don't buy that. Look at the book of Acts, chapter 2. And in there we find the day of Pentecost, and Peter is preaching, and he's beginning to speak at the 22nd verse, and he is talking to these Pharisees, and he said, Ye men of Israel, hear these words. Jesus of Nazareth, the man approved of God among you by miracles, wonders, and signs, proving he was that prophet, which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know him, being delivered by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you've taken by wicked hands, crucified and slain, whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death. because it wasn't possible that he should be holding of it. They couldn't keep him. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad, and also my flesh rest in hope. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither shall I seek corruption. Thou hast made known unto me the ways of life, thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. There you are. Men and brethren, let me freely speak of the patriarch David. He's both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day. Therefore, being a prophet, knowing that God had sworn with a note to him that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he'd raise up Christ to sit on his throne. He's seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither did his body see corruption, and there will be those whose souls are left in hell, and their bodies will be burnt like a fire.
You see? There is a life, what we're talking about. Okay, now with this, we go to 1 Corinthians chapter 15. And you will notice in here, Paul is speaking of the fall of Adam and so on. But now he refers in verse 20, but as in Adam all die. now but now rather as Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that slept for since by man came death by man came also the resurrection of the dead for as an atom all die even so in Christ that means identical manner all shall be made alive now the understanding is this this man Adam that was dying in the flesh he went to the tree of life to try to get his immortality which was already his according to Almighty God he was already in his genes and his soul but he blew it now
We're going to get it because of Jesus Christ our Lord. And it says in identical manner as they all died in Adam, in identical manner all come back in Christ, 19 years of age, 100 % perfect in flesh. And those who are standing at that day of the resurrection, their bodies, like Christ, will not corrupt, but go through tremendous change and come forth completely rejuvenated. What you should be, which was to remain at the age of 19 or 20, whatever it is, Now look at it. In John, the 10th chapter, and in verses 10 to 18, we get the picture here. And it says, The thief cometh not, but the sealant to kill and destroy. I am come that they might have life, and they might have it more abundantly. I'm the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. But he that's an hireling and not a shepherd, who's owned the sheep or not, see the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. And the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep. And so on down the line. Now he says in verse 17, Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down to myself. I have power to lay it down, power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. All right, there we see the perfection of the resurrection, and we see Jesus identified himself with the life that is in men.
himself that of the life which is in men exactly as Paul did when he says as in Adam all died they all are made alive in Christ so the life in Jesus is a hundred percent identified with the life of the sheep that's already there you follow me predestination for knowledge election children of God
showing the divine consummate purpose of Almighty God. Now, I want us to make sure to notice that this life, which is in us from a certain source, we've identified it, is the same life that is in Christ Jesus and is all of God and demands, demands, can't help itself, a body, and is commanded to propagate through bodies.
In other words, a stream of life identified as a species amongst all other life has its genesis in a certain source. And let's get this flat. Every other life, the genesis is in creation. Ours was not created.
Ours is the gene of God, and God wasn't created.
God never created his life. He was life.
that life in the greek is zoe and zoe refers to the eternal life of god of jesus his son and of us but notice in the actual true meaning of the word which is zoe it is of all life because that's where we get our word zoology even god is included in it now i've gone into that different times in john 1 notice in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god the same was in the beginning with god now notice all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made now listen he's talking about a purely cretorial creator and a purely creatorial act notice it describes him and now watch what it says in him was zoe life
within life life within spirit
It's a designation. It's like there ain't no Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as three people, but it's one designated as to offices and to roles and to titles.
Now he's already living.
Can you conceive of a God that's dead and doing something? Well, hey, my sister died a week ago, 80 -some years old.
I'm going to go to her grave. I'm supposed to say, hey, Annie, I want to talk to you. If I listen hard enough, something will talk to me, but it won't be any.
Dead.
I can go and say you're the sweetest sister God ever gave a man. She ain't going to say, hey, I'm glad you said that, honey. I say you're the biggest bum of a sister God or devil ever gave a man. Pooey on you. And she's not going to say, hey, you bum. I treated you nice when you were a kid.
I'm trying to show you something. God is alive. He's living. And yet it says in him is life.
I take a glass of water. Hey, there's water in there. Stupid, I can see it.
Do you get where I'm driving at? You don't have here a statement of fact as though nobody knew that he was the living God. The psalm is full of the living God. This man John is not an idiot. Everybody knows that God's alive. So he's trying to tell you something.
That in him as creator, he gives his life and identifies himself with all life.
You understand what I'm saying? Now listen. In him was life and the life was the light of men. In him was this Zoe.
And this Zoe is the light of all men. Okay. The Bible is a complete unit of explanation, though you don't find the whole thing written out in every place. It's like Brother Branham said, a jigsaw puzzle. So let's go to the jigsaw puzzle that the Holy Ghost gave a part of, of our good friend Apostle Paul too. And it says here, For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth back in unrighteousness, because that which may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has showed it unto them, for the invisible things of him from creation of the world are clearly seen being understood.
So God associating himself with Zoe, the whole plethora of life as creator, the association. You understand what I'm saying? Creation is a light that no man can reject. There has to be a God.
Now, what God is doing is associating and taking credit for every single form of life that there is, even the life that goes out of hand. Now, notice in here, the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not. In other words, all around us is the evidence of Almighty God. And men shut their minds up when they couldn't see God for nothing. Brother Branham told a lot of little stories about that. It was very pretty. Then there was a man sent from God. His name was John. He was a witness to the light. Every prophet is.
Now what is that light he's talking about? God infestation bringing the people to himself. So therefore God must have a means of manifestation. And it's all around us. But in a very special way it's with man. Because we came from God himself and we're a part of him and in his mind. In the genes of Almighty God. Now we could go on and on but you know what I am talking about here. Now this is the secret of Revelation 3 .14. The beginning of the creation of God. God in the very beginning. With the form, the birth of Jesus Christ. God. creating all things through him finally saying let us make man in our image god associating himself with all of his creation and especially man where god himself will now take on a form brought on by his own creative power to give the thing on earth here which are necessary for his own body well if that's not emmanuel god with us you tell me what in the world is it
This is my beloved son. I'm going to indwell him. I know people get thrown by the fact that a voice came from heaven. The word heaven means an elevated place. That's all it actually means. A place of authority and what have you. So the voice of speaking is no great thing. So here is the secret then of Revelation 3 .14 and the birth and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a man your God with us. Now let us consider Zoe as life. Life as a spirit. Life is spirit. But we will not necessarily go into that. And you'll notice that Brother Branham, in talking about tuberculosis and other diseases, called them spirits. So all right. Life is spirit form. So we just look at life as all conclusive, and it is visible spirit. So then this life, now listen, is invisible. But it's real. But with...
Another 45 minute tape went. I think your tape's lying.
We can make it. So then this life is invisible, but with genetically coded circuitry.
Spiritually, the genetic spirit. The genetics of the spirit. So this life then is invisible. Spirit. But with genetically born with it, created with it. coated circuitries that can take created chemical substances and transform the exact features that are required to manifest exactly what kind of life it is with all its variations as to color and height and weight and longevity actually all that we see besides just barren earth out there this invisible life also responds to the temperature to the atmosphere so that the visible manifestation of life manifests best in the climate that that life is best adapted to according to creation with a little tiny seed it's in there brother brown says an orange seed it's that the life in that little orange seed he said that it's going to produce every single life every single orange that's in there it's got the possibility now notice the life only The life only, speaking of nature, was created and that life is not created but formed through chemicals reacting to the life according to what that life is exactly.
Understand what I'm saying? No wonder Brother Branham could say with Einstein, we can create.
Why? Because our life is of God. Now there's limitations placed on it, the same as God limits himself.
You understand what I'm saying? That life is within us. How fantastic this earth must have been when Adam and Eve first took it over. It was, as has been said, in all its glory. And what a glory that was when all the original life coming through original seed, then seed covers coming through it. That life stood upon earth. and all according to their perfect patterns were formed into bodies according to the life that was created, and now must bring forth after its kind, which it could not do without a body.
Now that's the law of God. Everybody stands back and says, well, you know, it would be nice if God had done so and so. What are you talking about? The ultimate of God's wisdom is at stake. And we're calling him a dunderhead. Oh, Lord, I could have told you something if you'd have asked me. If you'd have been back there, if he'd have asked you, you'd have given him the right answer.
And you'd say, oh, body, he's going to prepare for me. Hallelujah. How it comes? There it comes. Well, it's going to come through the channels of degradation because man's going to fall. Let him fall.
Understand what I'm saying?
See, human mind doesn't want to agree with God and go with God. Oh, God, you could have done better. Oh, God, this wasn't your plan. Satan came in and ruined it. Well, who created Satan?
That's what I preach on Responsibility Friday night. You think God hasn't become totally responsible? Man, you missed it.
They sing, all to him I owe. Sin left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. As though they're putting something into it. As though God suddenly found a way out of his dilemma.
God doesn't have dilemmas.
We have dilemmas because we simply don't want to get simple. Get to where Brother Branham brought us. He knew every flea and how many times it had as bad as eyeballs and how many it would take to make a pound of tallow.
I give up. That's what God wants us to do. Hey, Lord, have your way. You're going to have it anyway.
You know what a backsliding heifer is? Ephraim. A backsliding heifer is where the farmer has a young calf. Heifer, male, doesn't matter. And he decides to lead the calf one way and the calf decides to go the other way.
Now he's got a rope around the calf's neck. And the calf digs his hoofs in and pulls and the farmer says, you ain't gonna do it to me. And pretty soon that calf will be a snorting and a hollering and a snuffing and bellering on his side and choking. And if that's what the calf wants, the farmer gives it to him, pulls him in where he belongs.
Saul the Tarsus had that experience.
But God won. All right, now, whatever the life manifests, that is, brings it to its ultimate, is the glory of that life, for glory means assess, A -S -S -E -S -S. It means to judge, to qualify, to attribute to, as to rank and to status and compare and so on. In other words, a judgment is required. See? because you're talking about glory and when you do you're talking in the sense of the superlative now you see there's a very pretty rose there and there's maybe a pretty rose all depending on what you yourself call beautiful as to your standard you are assessing and you're saying the glory of that little seed is that rose in other words that flower is the ultimate of that life Because that's what a rose is all about. You know, Brother Vale, I prefer to eat the rose hips. Well, that's your business. That's your glory then. Canine's vitamin C, good for you. I never think of the rose hips when I see those roses. In fact, I don't think they actually produce rose hips. It's the wild ones that do it. A rose hip is a little pod, you know, that has a seed. When you were a kid, didn't you go up there in the prairies? If you had a prairie like I did, and you found a pretty orangey and the red rose hip, and I didn't know what I was doing, but we liked the taste. You know, carefully, like Jack Bell says, the mule eating buckberry. Puts his lips back and gets his teeth out so the sprouts, you know, the little thorns don't pick him. At least they take their little things off and nibble around. It tastes good. Pete, you're from the prairies. Hey, man, you go to Idaho. You look out and you see great big ones. I got there salivating right when I saw them several years ago. Never got them. Couldn't relive my childhood. All right. See, we may look at one. manifested form of life and marvel at it and then see another form that is far more overwhelming that's in our eyes and we see then that one glory can be greater than another glory though both are glorious like the church ages what a glory when luther came out A greater glory when Wesley came out. A greater glory when Pentecost. But for his deliverance, what a glory there is today. And people look around and say, had Branham hogwash? What is that about a pillar of fire? What is that about angels? What is that about being caught? Why, I spoke in tongues, bless God.
Don't mind me, I came out of Pentecost. Just thank God, Pentecost came out of me. Paul mentions in 1 Corinthians 15, the glory of the celestial is one glory, differing from the glory of the terrestrial. And he said, even in the celestial, there's the glory of the sun, there's the glory of the moon, there's the glory of the stars. So is the resurrected body. And the bride has sections of glory, but every glory is the perfect glory that God put in that particular one.
See, we're jaundiced today. Remember that song? Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes. I'll never love blue eyes again. Everybody got it opposite.
Your
songs will tell you.
Somebody loves violets. Little, shrinky, pretty, little, velvety, purple violets. Where I come from, they also had yellow ones. Got them here. Then they got white ones. And the person looks a little past, oh, splendiferous.
Then somebody sees the rose, forgets the violet. And what about the Troymans and the Swiss with the yodeling? They climb the Alps and see the, what is it, the Idleweiss?
From what I've seen, a picture wouldn't give you a nickel for it.
You know what makes it so great? As far as I know, it's up there in the snow.
Beautiful under the condition. I'm trying to show you something here. Glory is an assessment, and we can be a million miles off in our assessing because
everything God made was perfect. Therefore, everything was glorious and fully appreciated. What does America appreciate today? Dollars, dollars, dollars. So Bush gets us in the Gulf War and everything else because they're dollars, dollars, dollars. All Bush has got in his eyes, he's a cash register. And all he's got in his eyes is dollar signs. And he's no different from Bill Clinton. If you think he is, you're crazy. So I don't care who you put in office, I ain't voting.
Bush is going to get anyway.
And the Pope's going to take it over. He already has. You want me to tell you something? I don't like that you always cut in on things. I'll save it. A good preacher never... diverts i'm not a good preacher so the glory of the sun you know something you're a couple of young lovers you're out there in the sun you can't wait till the night comes down and you can sit on a little little little little hammock or a little little little bit of swing under the lilacs under the moonlight moonlight and lilacs where's the glory of the sun gone
but it's glorious there's you know what i'm trying to show you something there is nothing that isn't glorious in other words assessed and meritorious in its own particular situation and in place and the sun is far glory as to its intensity and brilliance i admit it far above the stars and all but listen brother sister one day the sun will not give its light and the moon will darken and the suns will fall the heavens roll back as a scroll and the earth will vanish as a vapor then the glory will be gone
the manifestation they're going to perish now watch both sacred and secular history is one long record of faded glory and disappointment the disappearing of glory even as it is doing now today we are facing not only faded glory but a complete annihilation of it as thousands of species of original life have already died and are now dying never to be seen again on this present earth. And even man is on his way out because AIDS is a problem with productivity reproducing.
Venereal disease kills you in four generations.
You could have three generations of babies before the last one died an idiot. But you get pregnant with HIV -1, 2, and God knows how many more, and those kids, those babies are dead.
Man's gone too far. Because you see, the genetic pattern in the spirit demands certain chemicals. Certain chemicals only. In definitive measure. In their own definitive way.
And reproduction is a part of it.
So let men and women go to sex and let them die. Because they don't fear him who can cast body and soul into hell. All they fear is, oh God, I want my body to have my fun. And that's what the homo said, and I heard him right on TV. I wasn't watching TV, but I got my daughter to get the thing off on her TV. She said, that's not nice. She was going to watch it anyway. He said, don't fuss about it. And those homos met with the congressman, which Dannemeyer was one. And this Father Boyd in Cincinnati had a great big fat blimp that didn't have the guts to stand up front. He said, whomp, whomp, whomp.
The senator knew more than anybody. Stood right there when they said, you birds. We like our sex. We're going to have it our way. And when we get disease, you're going to raise the money and you're going to cure so we can do it all over again. And I just say one thing. They're on their way out. The whole human race. You say what you want. I don't care what you say. I go to the Bible. So we notice something here. Life reproduces itself until the last means of reproduction is gone. There is no more strength.
The seed runs out. Now the usual run of life, reproduction is by seed. In the spring we plant our seeds, we see the glory of the life that is in the seed come to maturity or its epiphany. Christ is in his epiphany right now in the human race is to reach salvation.
Coming into the epiphany at this moment, it begins to rise in a crescendo until everybody comes out of the grave in the first year and we are changed, going to the general resurrection. where the foolish virgin come out.
In the meantime, we meet in another crescendo where we meet him in the air and crown him king of kings, lord of lords. Epiphany, the flash, the brilliance, an ultimate.
Now, in harvest time, we get the ultimate. The glorious faded. We're right back to the genetically coded pattern that was there in the original. Perhaps not anymore. But it has produced a carrier, so life goes on.
Notice, like Christ's ministry. Look at Moses' ministry. It was a great ministry. We see Christ's ministry in Moses. We see it in Christ himself. We see it in Paul. And in this day, we see the ministry in William Branham. Now, that is a glory, and it is a time of maturity. So whatever is there can reproduce itself for the final time. And the final time is resurrection. Now, what did Christ's ministry do in Moses? It brought forth the Word. What did it do in Paul? It brought forth the Word. What did it do in William Branham? It brought forth the Word. And it's the original Word now in the people with the mind. The womb of the mind thoroughly closed in the period of gestation to bring the inner man by the word to the place where he renews the outer man.
You say what you want. I know I'm right. I don't care what anybody says.
I could quote the prophet day in and day out. Just get Dave on the computer and tell him what to do. Bring them all up. I can't quote. I know what I'm talking about. I have to quote.
But as we have stated, what if the last manifested form... Of a carrier is eliminated. Like the passenger pigeon. And today thousands more. What then?
What then? It's over. And anything left. Is valueless. It's burned. Quote. Hebrews. Where am I going? Tell me. What chapter? Oh come on you scaredy cats. Chapter 6.
Come on. Come on. Come on. Verse 4. For it's impossible. Those who are once and for all enlightened. that's the seventh church age messenger and have tasted the heavenly gift partake of the holy ghost taste of the good word of god the power is the world to come and in other words something starts at the end time goes right into eternity blast off now what's it say having fallen away they cannot be renewed to repent seeing they crucified themselves the son of god afresh and put into an open shame for the reason is the earth which drinketh in the rain that come off upon it And brings forth earth's meat for them by whom is dressed receives blessing of God. He's got two hands, right hand and left hand. One is blessing, one's cursing. But that which bears thorns, the right hand we heard about blessing, the left hand bears thorns is rejected and is nigh to cursing whose end is to be burned.
That's the end of the carrier.
Bride's foolish virgin is killed. Everybody else go
where? To the lake of fire.
That's why it says in Malachi, leaving neither root nor branch. And Brother Branham categorically said, there's your lake of fire.
All right. Yes, what then? That is the question. For there is no manifested life that cannot come to an end when the last carrier dies. Which means the substance for that life reproduction according to the created life or the uncreated life within it is gone. And life can no longer form a carrier.
You understand what I'm driving at?
What happens when you get HIV?
It goes to seminal fluids.
You're finished.
Everything is polluted. Everything contaminates the days of Noah. The earth was polluted and therefore brought forth violence. Read it for yourself. Why are kids the way they act in school? Because they get pure sugars. They get chemicals in their body to destroy. If I make a U -turn in the wrong place, they'll find me. If I spit on the floor, they'll find me. If I put a little deal on the fire insurance and I burn a little building down to collect money, I get thrown in jail. If I rob a bank, all the FBI and everybody in the United States will come and shoot me down.
No problem. Ain't no problem at all. They got all kinds of laws, brother, sister, they'll get you for and everything else for. They're out to get you there. But what about this end time now?
The end time now comes under judgment of Almighty God. The end time seed runs out. The end time seed can get away. That is just the worldly seed out there. They will induce drugs in the school. It's okay. And they'll deny it. They'll deny everything under God's eye heaven. But as I said, you and I do a few things. We can get thrown in jail, slapped with fines, everything else, when it's not consequential, really consequential.
Now, what is in the world today has so thoroughly destroyed mankind that Brother Branham said there's nothing left in the soil. Everybody knows that. And he said, therefore, if the body turns to mush, what about the brain?
So what I'm trying to tell you is the law does not protect us. The FDA does everything it can to produce drugs and destroy us. So we're going to have to go to a doctor pretty soon to eat a carrot. It contains vitamin A.
You're finished.
There's nothing left for the life. So life ceases.
It goes back to the bank of God now.
That's what the Bible said. The spirit goes back to God who gave it.
How many birds of robins did it take to make billions of robins? Two.
How many spares to make billions of spares? And God knows he's got trillions. Two.
Where'd your magpies come from? Two. Life goes back to God. How did the animals come out of the earth and the fish out of the sea?
They were there. God just put bodies on them.
The life genetically, spiritually padded, brought it forth. You see, now, what I'm trying to show you, all Zoe is both life and physical property. One without the other is not tenable. The very life was made in order to have a carrier and a body.
The invisible things of God and their myriads and multitudes, there's millions out there. can be seen visibly by chemical products of the earth. You tell me anybody here that you've got a chemical in your body that wasn't created by God. I say, you're nutty and a fruitcake. Where'd you go? Well, I went up to Mars and got it. Well, God made Mars too. Armstrong brought it back to the moon. God made the moon too.
So I went to the Dead Sea and I got all those chemicals like the goofy latter rainers. Some of them anyway. They're going to get a pill out of the Dead Sea. It'll kill you. It's going to make you... I know what they're thinking. That's Pentecost. They don't care about the word. They let the lung go. From life's creation, it is predestinated to some form of a body. See? Zoe is both life and physical property. From life's creation, that spirit, it is predestinated to some form of a body. It absolutely is. Form is as essential as life because one is not without the other, period. This is 100 % scriptural as we read in 2 Corinthians 5. We do not want to be disembodied. The natural instinct is get into something else. A body. We even notice that in the two accounts of creation of the forming a man. One was a spirit man. then the spirit man was put in the body in order to propagate the species spirits must have bodies in order to function as brother branham said if a spirit comes in this room he's hopeless he's helpless until somebody gives way to him i saw that in uh in was in iowa Brother Branham went to the arena that day, and he just wanted to look at the building, see what the acoustics were, and see how the people were going to be formed around him, because he just wanted to know, like an ordinary man. And lo and behold, here was a couple in a wheelchair or so, and Brother Branham, being a gentleman, went over to say, how do you do? God bless you. And the man standing by said, ha, I see how he does it. It's all ahead of time. And then he puts notes and blah, blah, blah. And that spirit got that man, and it all but restored that whole meeting. You never saw a meeting tougher than the hubs of hell itself.
That town died. until people from the outside came in and made the meeting like it was in Lima, Ohio. Nobody in Lima cared two bits for anything. We prayed hour by hour in Little Baptist Church. We prayed from 5 o 'clock in the morning until 10 o 'clock at night. And the last few weeks we've had every night to pray. And a little band of hard -shelled believers came. And God brought back the gift of healing for the first time in five years and 50 miracles in 50 minutes. You can do that any time you bring the Spirit of Him. You say, Brother, they'll do something. You do something. See, my gift isn't for myself. I'll leave this meeting and forget what I even said.
People point and say, Lee, you said so -and -so. I don't say, hey, that sounds great. It's got to be true. I just say, oh, thank you. I appreciate that. I'm telling you the truth. No man has a gift for himself. Nobody has a gift for himself. But I do thank God I remember some things. But as we said, what if life runs out? For the carrier is gone. What? That is the question that Job asked. That is what Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians when he proclaimed what Job asked about. Now, you can read that in Job 14, 1 to 15, Job 19, 23, 27, 1 Corinthians 5, 19, and 6, 5, 1 to 5, which means, look, I am not here as a disembodied spirit. I did not come from a little tiny seed in God's mind to come into the full personality that God wants me to be, and I had to become that in the body. I'm not getting rid of my body now. I want something to be in.
See? Let's go to Job just the same. Because I think I remember something about Job. I hope so. If I don't, well, I'll take the next portion of Scripture. Okay, in Job, let's
go to Job 14 first. All right. He said, man that is born a woman, and so on. He's talking about people, things coming up and things dying. And how will a man live again? You see? Notice in verse 10, But man dieth and wastes away, yea, man giveth up the ghost. And where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and the floods decayeth and dry up. So man lieth down, rise not, till the heavens be no more, and they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. Oh, that thou be in the grave, that thou wouldst keep me secret until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldst appoint me a set time and remember me. If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come. Thou shall call and I will answer thee. Thou will have a desire to the work of thy hands. Now listen to me. The spirit form was created, but the physical form was formed by God's hands. So Paul says, Job said, I am going to wait till what God did with these hands, which is my body, comes forth. Now listen to what he said in the 19th chapter. Where is it? 23. Oh, that my words were written. Oh, that they were printed in a book. That they were graved with an iron pen and lead in a rock forever. For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand as latter day upon the earth. And after skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. The rains be consumed with them. And let me tell you, we saw God when we saw William Branham. Say, Brother Vail, now you're blaspheming. Oh, shut up and go home.
I'll challenge you. You say, believe this message, I'll come up and stand beside me. Come on, have the guts. I've got the guts to challenge you. There's about 250 people here. Not afraid of all he put together.
When you saw that man doing those miracles, that was God in the flesh. God was in that man.
Don't try to finagle around and think you know the word and you're somebody. Some stupid jerk sitting here. I've got the Holy Ghost, Brother Bailey. I spoke in tongues. You did so did I. Oh, I had a vision. How many? Compare yours and mine. I challenged all he put together. And I'll bring witnesses. Come on, look, I don't know who you are, brother. I'll challenge all of you. Get your witness, I'll get mine. I got a phone right here, five phones in this building going out. I'll trace them down through the earth.
Prophecies end upon end, one after the other.
Dreams that I told right to past technicolor. Visions. I ain't got nothing.
Got nothing.
Not compared. Say, Brother Bill, you had a bit of glory. I saw the glory that excelled.
I thank God that he gave me a dime's worth, although all the gold in the world couldn't buy it. I'm making comparison now as to glory. I stand with a lot, getting mad at the bums in the street but not moving away.
You know what I'm talking about. 1 Corinthians 15 and 19. I don't like to hurt anybody's feelings. I make challenges here. But I just want to know where I stand and where I want you to stand. Look, brother, sister, we are at the end. We are at the final glory. As Brother Brandon said, this glory I mentioned a while ago. There was Luther. There was Wesley Pentecost. He said the glory went. But he said this glory will never fail. And it's rising and rising and rising.
Oh, yes, beloved brother, sister. I'm nothing but a whodunit from nowhere or who didn't do it from nowhere. But don't you get me confused with William Branham, the prophet, the great man of God. 5 and 19 says, in this life only we have hope. We're of all men most miserable.
But this is it. If I don't come back as me, if you don't come back as you, you know something? The resurrection, hey, look, we talk about the fact, Brother Branham said, how we ought to love each other, how we do love each other because of this word. And I know that that's true. But it's not ultimate truth in realization. of what the real truth is when it goes into its right manifestation. You understand what I'm saying? In other words, we got the potential, but we aren't quite there yet.
How would you like to have this word just come through you this morning? And just let your hair down and just really love everybody that loved this word. So, Brother Vail, it wouldn't be so hard if I really knew it was in people's hearts to really love the word. Well, just give them a chance. Maybe they'll come to it. Maybe they're the nickel, little five, little one cent piece like Lot.
You know, even Jacob got to be acting like a two -bit piece when he should have been a silver dollar. Abraham blew it, so did Isaac. Yes, we're looking for that body. We cannot be content without it because, listen, it was in that life created and uncreated eternal where those genes... the spiritual dna and the rna were which is the genetic circuitry that brought that to best it time over well forget it put another tape on you'll be we'll get out of here i'll read my notes quick as i can but i want you to get the point you ready at least one tape now
at this point as i have said many times concerning this hope the resurrection that means earnest expectation the simplicity of God's plan goes over our heads our ultimate is not to be unclothed our ultimate is not to be unclothed the ultimate is to be clothed with what God ordained any and which lies within us to come forth under its season appropriately Under the right atmosphere. Huh? Well, that's plant life.
That's every life. You know what they did? Let me tell you. They made a test years ago on cattle. They had some cows pregnant. And they fed the first one wheat. And they said the next one corn. And the next one was oats. And the next one was barley and so on. Anyway, when the test came out, the cow that gave birth... with no problem and a good calf was corn and the next results wheat almost aborted so i'm trying to show you something all life is the same way it has summed it inherently from the creation that demands certain specifics and when it gets it it comes out that's why brother brandon brought the word spiritual food in due season
and has to come back to the place of recovery in order that the man within us can now renew the outer man because the inner man has now the required nutrients that he needs in order to come forth and produce a resurrection in that part of our body which is dying. So I'm trying to tell you this, what life is all about is a body. You say, what about life? I'm trying to tell you, you can't separate them.
And if you're separated, you've got to go right to the body, which you bypass, which is the word body.
And when they're up there, they want here. And Paul said, if I don't come back here, what's been the use? You see what I'm trying to do with our minds this morning? To get us to understand what's really in the Bible. And not say, well, you know, bless God, I'd be satisfied if I could just have this here. Why don't everybody just shut up and become dumb before God and say, Lord God, what is it that I'm supposed to have? You know, the Marichal, she was a sweet little kid. I don't believe in women preachers, but it's okay because she didn't understand. As a tiny girl, her mother might say, now, what was her first name? Her name's, she's called the Marichal. She was the old daughter. She married a clibbering. They produced, every child was a genius. Anyway, I can't remember her name. But my mother would say, well, dear, how would you like to go to town with me now, downtown, down at the store, and we will buy you a new dress? And she said, mother, whatever the Lord would like me to have, I would like that. And she wasn't some little prizzy, snot -nosed little kid that said, mother, whatever the Lord wants me to have, that's what I want, and then kick her sister. Her mother's back was turned, or pinch, or steal a cookie. The kid meant it. That's why she was one of the most unique people that ever lived. And Brother Branham Mindy said, I always have my way.
I always do what he wants me to. So we're talking now in the intimate terms of the ultimate in God's mind, which at this hour, according to Scripture, we have.
You understand what I'm saying? I know you do because, hey, enough of you heard me preach enough times that you've got to know by now. All right, we understand that then. all right listen now at this point as i have said many times concerning this hope of the resurrection the simplicity of god's plan goes over our heads our is not to be unclothed or in any way be separated from what our stream of life brought forth which means our bodies The truth is seen in Genesis 1, 26, and 31, Genesis 2, 89, Genesis 3, 22, 24, and Revelation 22, 10 to 14. And you all know what those in Genesis are. First in the flesh, I mean spirit, then in the flesh, and then he tries to get to the tree of life. See? An interruption took place. Now, in Revelation 22, 10, 14, the seals are open. And from that moment on, when the seals are open, the righteous are righteous, the holy are holy, and so on, or whatever they are. And they walked to the tree of life. What does it? Wash their garments. What washing? Blood? Yes and no. They've already been blood washed and the blood fell upon the ground. What's it do now? By the washing of the water of the word for presentation of this chapter. See? Okay. Now, Brother Branagh spoke of God in simplicity. Are people always missing what God is doing? And this day because it is so simple. The simplicity of the Easter morning is under the seventh seal of a Roman candle nature whereby Revelation 10, 1 to 7 comes into full effect with Revelation 10 and 7 shooting plum off into eternity because time now runs out by blending into eternity and we have a strange mixture.
There's a part of us who are brighter becoming eternal right now. In the sense of our bodies.
Yeah. Okay. Thus time and eternity are both going on at the same time. With eternity taking over more and more and more, there is now no interruption.
Eve interrupted the program. What was the program? Get to the tree of life and live forever.
Not in a state of innocence anymore, but of righteousness.
In other words, the full attributes of the life of God coming forth into manifestation naturally, normally, because the atmosphere and everything there is normal. And as Brother Branham said, during the millennium, the devil is chained by circumstances. And if the devil was not destroyed, it wouldn't make that much difference. He wouldn't bug us anyway.
Can I say to the rose, rose flies? Hey, I'm not meant to fly. Oh, you aren't? Well, that's new to me. See, Brother Bale, don't Brother Bale me. I'm telling you the truth because we as Christians act pretty stupid at times. There will be no more interruptions. Brother Brandon said so. It begins shooting off into a glory, into another glory, higher and higher. It will take us right to the resurrection. It will take us through the resurrection. It will take us to immortality. It will take us to the gathering, the assembling. It will take us in the rapture. It will take us to the marriage supper. It will bring us back on earth. and take over 1 ,000 years and go on and on. It will take us to the white throne where we become attorneys.
More and more into the image. Why? Because it was in the genetic pattern. As Brother Branham would say after Norman, he'd say, oh, hallelujah, as he looked forward. And the only reason I say it is not because I feel it. I knew he did, and I'll say it for him. That's what we're getting at. That's what we're seeing. That is why Brother Branham said, just live godly lives in simplicity. Don't look for great things.
The great thing is going on in us if we're born again and bride.
Oh, Brother Dale, I want this gift. I want that gift. Want all you want. There's going to come and say, hey, what about, oh, well, Lord, listen, hey, hey, hey. Now, don't count me out because I raised the dead. I did miracles. I prophesied in your name. I spoke in tongues. I did this and that. They said, get away. I never knew you.
Do you realize that doing iniquity, the speaking in tongues and all of these things, and Brother Branham's iniquity said, there is something that you know to do and you don't do it. And you can just reverse it. There is something that you know you shouldn't do and you do it anyway. It's called sins of omission and sins of commission.
You say, well, Joseph, do they know better? The prophet told them. It's an anointing.
Jesus stands in the congregation and he sings praises unto God. And he's not ashamed of us fellows out here. Why? We're his brethren. Oh, you mean we suffered and died and we lived? Oh, no, no. You came from one source.
Genetics.
That is why Brother Brandon said just live those good lives. the great thing has already occurred proven and chronicled we know about it is going on already since revelation 10 and 4 was given the book was sealed and opened in revelation 22 and 10 we are actually now as i have said in revelation 22 11 to 15 going to the tree of life and becoming immortal the separation has already occurred by the word the judge has already pronounced condemnation Upon everybody but the bride. For even the foolish virgin. Now get this flat and understand. And don't think you know something. That the prophet didn't know. Because the prophet said the foolish virgin. Is classified right there with the unrighteous. And the filthy. So brother. I just couldn't believe that God would do that. Well you see. He did it.
His fan is in his hand. He's thoroughly purging the floor. To gather the wheat into the garner.
You tell. Listen. You cannot understand Hebrews 6 and what went on in this world and not know that the wrath of God is now upon those who hold back the truth and unrighteousness. And unrighteousness is an act of worship contrary to the revealed word of God. You say what you want. I'll take you right to the book.
Because the whole thing has to do with worship. It ends up in a time of worship. Notice how the whole world has gone religious. It is now Christians against Mohammedans.
Here, let me get you something. Where is it? Oh, yeah, Galatians.
If I can find it. You know, I'm a very poor Bible student.
Can't find things.
Let me see. Galatians, Galatians, Galatians.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, here it is here. It says he's talking about the seed, Abraham's seed by two women. And there's an allegory.
